GIZ has been working in Namibia on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) since the country gained its independence in 1990. We opened an office in the capital Windhoek in 1994.
GIZ has 23 seconded and 55 national staff working in Namibia in support of its partners. There are also 26 development workers and 15 CIM experts deployed in partner organizations in the field of sustainable development.
Based on the agreement reached between the German and Namibian Governments, GIZ’s activities focus on the following priority areas:
- Management of natural resources
- Transport
- Economic development
In addition to the programmes and projects being implemented in these priority areas, we provide project advice in the field of basic education and health (HIV/AIDS).
We use results-based concepts and instruments to prepare, implement and evaluate international cooperation projects in Namibia.
